The US carrier sent the Internet into a meme frenzy after it forcibly disembarked passenger Dr David Dao from an overbooked flight. The Vietnamese doctor was severely manhandled and ended up bloody. Shares in the airline dropped massively and online wags went crazy taking the mickey. The one we liked the best wrapped Pepsi, United Airlines and Sean Spicer into one. Time.com #Bahrain GP. A visit to the marshals’ briefing on the morning of last year’s Bahrain Grand Prix provided the perfect insight into exactly why the event is justifiably proud of its marshalling team and their dedication. On arrival there was a live band playing music in one corner, slices of birthday cake being generously handed out in another, and so much enthusiasm amongst the 650 marshals present that the atmosphere seemed part briefing, part pre-race carnival. Most of these marshals had reported for duty at 5am, and many would work late into the evening - a clear illustration of the passion, pride and commitment they share. Reassuringly, when the marshals were called to order for the briefing, respectful silence quickly descended on the room as the business of the day got underway. Formula1.com Win, Win, Win! The spring season is the time when many major brands launch their new fragrances. For its latest offering, French brand L’Occitane went back to the very source of the beauty of Provence. It wanted to find the force that breathes life into plants – the very plants that become its precious ingredients. Every trail it followed led to the light. It seemed to shift, its colours pulsing and rippling. Three perfumers worked on the creation of Terre de Lumière: Calice Becker, Shyamala Maisondieu and Nadège Le Garlantezec. “It really was a journey for us. Each one brought her own world, her own emotions. This fragrance brings together, in perfect harmony, so many sensations that come from our experiences. That’s what gives it so many facets,” they say. The fragrance truly is akin to a breath of Provencal air in a bottle.

Jenna. Ed: You’ve got great taste Jenna, the dress is from the Jean Paul Gaultier SS17 collection. Thanks so much for letting us know about TDK Lingerie’s bra recycling initiative. I’ve got a cupboard full in good condition and was wondering what I could do with them. I’m sure lots of other readers will join me in saying a big “Well done” to Louise Wrankmore for coming up with this initiative, I shall certainly be heading in to see her in the near future. Fatima. I suffer dreadfully with insomnia so was really interested to read last month’s wellbeing feature. I’ve since sent off for a sleep tape from Amazon and put some lavender essential oil beside my bed. I can’t say I’m cured completely, but things are much better and I’m really hopeful that I’ll be able to sleep through the night soon as things are improving every night. One big help I’ve found is to leave my phone outside the bedroom and I’d urge other sufferers to do the same. Anne.
